maybe it's just me

Pose Pose Coast

This response was posted this evening in regards to this Push Push Coast-related entry from April.

This is hands-down the best comment I've ever gotten on this weblog. If it's somebody I know I'm gonna be so bummed.

My dad took this picture!

Pretty good, huh? I like it. I hope to be an one day be an old man in a suit spending the afternoon chatting with a friend on a park bench in France.

Make with the pictures already!

In lieu of actually updating my site in an orderly, systematic way, I've chosen to throw everything up semi-randomly by starting a new 'photoblog', a word that I dislike at least as much as 'blog'. You can find it at Make With The Pictures Already!. Please feel free to leave comments & don't forget to tell your friends.

And I'm sorry if I sent you more than one copy of the mass email. Something's up with my mail server thingamajig.

Face of the Earth

I have not fallen off of the above, only struggling with time-management. Please continue to check things here. There will be a return to some sense of normalcy. Right? In the meantime, take a look at the website of the Society for Industrial Archaeology. You can download their newsletter for free.

MIT smells like Radio Shack

It really does.

6-8 weeks!

That's what the arm doctor said today. I spent more time filling out forms than I did with him. He said that the fracture is very minor, I need to fl-exercise my arm to get it to extend/compress normally, and that it will be all better in 6 to 8 weeks! Bummer.

I'm going to call my mom & tell her.

Pardon Me...

Yesterday, while talking about a supposed drop in population rates on NPR, the reporter referred to it as a "birth derth". And while I'm still trying to work out what my schedule will be & where the weblog fit in, there has been a derth of entries. I've only just completed the first half-week of school which, in addition to four classes, will include 3 part-time assistantships plus my job at the bikeshop. It will be worked out.

I'm famous

Finally, I'm somebody. Sometimes, googling yourself pays off with little bits like this.

Speak, See, Remember

William Eggleston shares a BBQ lunch with Juergen Teller.

On no other 'photoblog' would you see a photo like the one above besides Christian Patterson's.

Aunt Pat, Mary Flatley & Walker Hamilton

My girlfriend Mary created & uploaded a site for her photos in one day. They're great. I haven't changed my site in forever.

And also, if you live in Chicago & see Walker Hamilton, give him a pat on the back for installing MT Blacklist for me. He speaks computers lots better than me. AND Walker & the other Walker & the two Nates just started their own digital imaging company. Good luck to them.

i heart huckabees

David O. Russell's new movie looks like it might be good. Everybody has pretty good hair.

Mass Art & David Hilliard

I just got home from the last day of orientation. School officially kicks off next Wednesday. I am both extremely nervous & extremely excited about the coming year. My current/older night project has ground to a halt or at least slowed to a creep & I have at least one other project that may be just beginning but I'm scared of what people will think. I talked to one of the 2nd year grads & felt slightly better when he explained that experimentation is generally expected during the first yeat. I just have to make the pictures & if they're lame, so be it. Trees are pretty, eh?

David Hilliard got his BFA at Mass Art before going on to that school in Connecticut, I forget what it's called. He was really friendly when he came to visit Columbia in Chicago & his multi-photo images are great, too.
